Chapter 333
"General, let's go back, it's too dark, and it's not good if we run into the soldiers of the group army."
The Legion Commander cleared his throat and said solemnly.
"You all hold important positions in the army, and we are about to engage the group army, how sure are you?"
The generals looked at each other, confused.
In the middle of the night, about 4 kilometers away from the group army, the commander of the corps asked them how sure they were of the war, and they immediately did not know what to say.
After a moment of silence, a young general plucked up his courage and said.
"General, I think we have a lot of odds of winning!"
Almost all of them looked to the source.
I saw the Legion Commander's affirmative gaze.
The general took a deep breath and continued.
"Judging by recent intelligence, the use of artillery by army groups is becoming less and less, and there are more and more examples of hand-to-hand combat. I can deduce that Army Group must be in trouble with logistics. And we are fighting on our own soil, coupled with the superiority in numbers, although we cannot fight head-on, but if we fight for attrition, our chances of victory are still not small. Not to mention the support of various nobles. ”
After analyzing, the young general couldn't help but hold his head high and looked very confident.
Those present also agreed with his analysis.
The Legion Commander's eyes were full of appreciation, and there was a hint of gloom.
"Good, Horn. The analysis is good, and your father will be very pleased to know it. ”
"General Xie."
"But I have very bad news for you."
Everyone hurriedly looked at the Legion Commander.
"Count Boris has been arrested."
There was a deathly silence at first.
Immediately, everyone's eyes widened, and after a long time, someone slowly squirmed their lips and asked.
"General, is this true?"
The Legion Commander nodded and said without hesitation.
"I'm 90% sure. Here are two letters, one from the army group that has just arrived, and the other from Count Cologne this morning. ”
After speaking, he took out two beige envelopes from his waist and passed them on.
After everyone looked through it, they were almost certain that Boris had been captured. They clearly knew what the battle of the noble army had been like a few days ago, and it was simply miserable. Boris has a slim chance of escaping.
"So what do you think we have to defeat the Army?"
The Legion Commander asked calmly.
In return to him was silence, a terrifying silence.
So everyone knows the answer, but no one dares to say it. What is the point of a war that must be lost.
The legion commander spoke at this point.
"So I decided to surrender, to the army group. If you want, follow me, if you don't want to, I won't be reluctant, it's a brother, you don't have to show mercy on the battlefield, and you don't have to feel guilty about killing me. ”
Obviously it was a difficult decision, and it could be a shame for them for the rest of their lives. Surrender before the war has even begun, but what's the point of desperately fighting for a war that is bound to be lost?
"I surrender!"
One of the generals said dejectedly, shouting strong unwillingness.
"I surrender!"
"I surrender too!"
Voices rang out one after another.
As the last sound fell, the legion commander grabbed the reins in his palm, and at this moment his heart was also very entangled, but he couldn't show it.
"As soldiers, it is shameful for us to surrender to the enemy, even before the war begins. But we can't waste our lives on a war that we must lose, and our wives and children are still waiting for us at home. Our lives are not just ours! ”
The Legion Commander's words made everyone feel a little better in their hearts.
"The next thing is to tell your respective subordinates the news, and say that I said this. If there are those you want to keep, then try to throw weapons at them. ”
Obviously, he wanted to minimize the pressure on the generals to surrender.
Then the crowd dispersed, leaving the commander alone in a daze, and after a while, the commander took the reins, turned his horse's head toward the army, and galloped away.
Kroger didn't have time to change his clothes, he walked out in his pajamas, and saw a middle-aged man leading a horse at the gate of the barracks, with a little wind and frost on his face.
Greeted him.
"Captain of the White Flame Legion?"
The Legion Commander nodded.
"Quick, serve. People come in the middle of the night, and we have to show our sincerity. ”
The corps commander hurriedly waved his hand.
"The general of the defeated army does not need to be so polite."
Kroger looked at the Legion Commander as if he had been a friend for many years, and said enthusiastically.
"Well, it's up to you. But I want to ask, what about your subordinates? ”
The Legion Commander laughed dryly.
Kroger explained the specifics.
Sure enough, at dawn, the soldiers of the White Flame Legion appeared on the horizon in three long columns, holding white flags in their hands. The army group also did not attack with artillery, and began the work of receiving surrendered troops.
The treatment of the captives was not as bad as imagined, and after the soldiers of the White Smoke Legion let go of the pressure of battle, they actually felt comfortable, fed and clothed, and did not have to work. It's still a good life.
Of course, life was short-lived, and they would soon begin reconstruction work under the supervision of the soldiers of the army group. They didn't complain too much about this, although they were tired, at least they didn't have to worry about the danger of their lives.
When the corps commander saw Boris, he was relieved that Boris had really been captured. Although the previous speculation was already very certain, if there was a glimmer of possibility, his sins would not be washed away.
He then wrote letters that he sent to various noble legions. Kroger estimated that with the confirmation of the White Flame Legion, the news of Boris's capture was confirmed.
After waiting for Boris to no avail, Koren began to hope that the army would defeat the army group head-on. So he risked his way through the line and ran towards the White Flame Legion.
The spies in front of them sent back bad news.
"The White Flame Legion has surrendered!?"
Coren said half-frightened, half-angry, and the horses trembled uncontrollably.
"Are you sure this is not fake news from the army group."
The spy said firmly.
"It's not just about civilians, I've seen with my own eyes that the army group is directing our army piles to repair the streets."
Cologne's face was blue and red, and his eyes couldn't wait to pop out, and he scolded angrily.
"I knew that Boris's army was unreliable, and the White Flame Legion surrendered before the battle began. We gave them so many weapons, but they surrendered. Shame! ”
None of the people present dared to speak out, for fear of touching Cologne's mold.
"When I defeat the group army, I will chop everyone in the White Flame Legion alive!"
.....
After Boris vented, he looked in the direction of the army group with hatred in his eyes.
With a wave of his hand.
"Let's go, the Blue River Legion is coming, and one less White Flame Legion is nothing. We still have a lot of troops, and I want this army group to know the cost of angering an earl. ”
